Start Here - Root In

I’m going to push some boundaries with this one—especially when it comes to belief systems. But let me be clear from the start: I’m not here to make anyone uncomfortable. I’m not claiming to have it all figured out. And I’m definitely not here to say it’s my way or the highway.

This blog was born out of my own journey—my lived experience—how God found me. Yours may look different. You might connect with God, Source, or the Divine in a way that doesn't mirror my story. And that’s okay. There is zero judgment here.

I will speak openly about God—because that’s the name that resonates with me, the presence I walk with, and the source that grounds me. But this space isn’t about religion. It’s about healing. About remembering who you are. About reconnecting to yourself and to something greater—whatever name you give it. It’s about learning to love—fully, honestly, unconditionally. First yourself, then others.

And practicing that love in real life—through grounding, creating space, nourishing your body, moving with intention, and clearing your mind so you can actually hear your soul speak.
How that unfolds for you? That’s your story. And I believe it will be beautiful.

I’m simply sharing glimmers of my own path so you know you’re not alone. Because healing isn’t pretty. It’s not linear. It’s often terrifying. The truth is, some of the hardest moments for me have been sitting with myself—really sitting—with everything that’s ever been said, felt, done, or buried.

My old actions, attitudes, judgments, beliefs... they were all part of my pain. And then came the shame—knowing that’s what people saw from me. That kind of reflection is brutal. But it’s also where transformation begins.

I’m not here to push a belief system on anyone. If you know me, you know I question everything. I dig. I research. I ask. I listen. I sit with God—the name that feels most true to me. I ground. I discern. I do my best to tell the difference between divine guidance, intuition, and the voice of ego—because ego? It’ll say whatever it needs to protect us, even if it’s not the truth.

If you’re someone who finds yourself judging others for how they connect, heal, or believe differently—this might be a good moment to pause. I say that with love. Because what I’ve learned is this: the things that trigger us most in others are often mirrors of what still needs healing in us.

That’s the work. That’s the point. And that’s why I’m here.

Now, if you feel the urge to respond with judgment—if you’re here to push rigid, fear-based views in ways that lack compassion—then honestly, this might not be the space for you right now. And that’s okay. Truly.

You are welcome here when you’re ready to grow from love, not fear. I’ll be here when that time comes.

Because this space—my blog, my site, my social media—is and will remain a safe place for those on the journey of healing, awakening, reconnecting with the Divine (whatever name you give it), and learning to love without conditions.
